Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation of the degradation of the mechanical behavior of corroded prestressing wires under high-cycle fatigue loading. To quantify the influence of corrosion degree, stress range, ...

Abstract: An understanding of how corrosion affects fatigue behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is essential for lifetime-oriented maintenance and design of existing bridges. This paper covers an experimental investigation ...

Abstract: Stirrups in RC beams are more vulnerable to corrosion than longitudinal steel bars due to the thinner concrete cover, and the shear behavior may deteriorate faster than the flexural behavior under fatigue loading. An ...
